North Wharf and Old Wharf

Both wharves are on the northern side of the peninsula, the North Wharf on Wakatu Quay and the Old Wharf on Avoca Street.

The North Wharf deck is designed for highway normal loading as per the Transit bridge manual, and the fendering system is designed for a boat of a maximum loading of 100 tonnes displacement (a fishing vessel of up to 20m long).

The depth alongside is approximately 2.5m below chart datum and leading lights are in place for the approach to the wharf.
